At 10:52 p.m. on May 17, 2019, WFPS crews responded to reports of a fire in a vacant one-and-a-half storey home in the 400 block of Manitoba Avenue. Upon arrival crews encountered flames coming from the house. Initially, a defensive attack was launched, knocking down the flames enough to allow the crews to then transition to an interior, offensive attack. The fire was declared under control at 11:19 p.m.
Crews searched the home and no occupants were found. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available.
